Growing up, my grandma called me her little Dolly.
I spent countless afternoons in my grandma's sun-drenched kitchen, enthralled by Bob Ross or experimenting with watercolors in an attempt to capture her natural artistic talent. Everywhere I looked in my grandparents' home, I saw her handiwork or objects that inspired her. She painted tables, windows, and doors, turning them into canvases for her creativity. And beyond painting, she also stitched together pillows, crafted clothing, and added her personal touch to garments. While she had a deep love for watercolors, she fearlessly delved into various art forms, infusing each creation with her unique spirit.
As I got older, I began carving out my own artistic path. With the love of art passed down from both my grandma and mom, I found myself gravitating toward street art. I'd scout vintage stores for hand-painted treasures or strike deals with street artists on city sidewalks. The idea of blending various mediums, styles, and forms together fascinated me. It felt like the perfect way to express myself creatively while honoring my grandmother's artistic legacy.
Combining these styles of art into fashion, I brought Dolly to life. With a passion for self-expression through creativity, each bag embodies original mixed media artwork, infusing every stitch with the essence of a painter's palette and honoring the legacy of artistic expression passed down through generations.
Custom-ish* available. These take up to 5 weeks to arrive, but highly suggested as gifts for weddings, birthdays, graduations and more! Custom-ish means you fill out a form of "things you love" (or they love! if it's a gift) and I use that as inspiration to make the bag. Be it a movie quote, or a favorite lyric, you can choose aspects of the bag. You can choose from the available color options as a base.
The Dolly handbag will only be available in small batches, four pre-made pieces will be arriving in May, each in a unique shape, design and size. Preorders are now available for both these ready-made pieces and for custom-ish orders.
**Custom production begins on May 15th.**
